Cake is chocolate fudge with chocolate chips. Buttercream with dark chocolate fondant and gold luster dust. FUNNY STORY, my daughter had a friend order this for her "sisters" birthday. Turns out it was really for my own SURPRISE birthday party. I even got payed for it and delivered it to the woman. Then, it showed up at my suprise party! My hubby is so sweet!! He planned it all for my BIG 50th. THANK YOU C.C. for all the wonderful ideas! YUMMMMM.......
